Lewinsky was only 22 and a White House intern when she became involved in a sexual relationship with Clinton. Their affair was revealed in 1998. Clinton initially lied about their relationship, but later admitted to it.

The episode's airing comes as many powerful men in entertainment, media and politics face sexual misconduct allegations. In the political realm, that includes Democratic Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota, Alabama Republican Roy Moore and Democratic Rep. John Conyers of Michigan.

The discussions around these new allegations have led to criticism from both the right and left about how previous accusations have been handled, from Anita Hill's sexual harassment allegations against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to Clinton's own sexual relationships.

The episode about the scandal, which is a part of HLN's true crime series How It Really Happened With Hill Harper, is set to air Sunday.

HLN, a sister network of CNN, described the episode in a release: "It was the shocking affair that nearly toppled a presidency... The scandal would make household names of Linda Tripp and Ken Starr... and change how the media covers the president of the United States."

It will feature interviews with Clinton advisers, White House journalists and others.

For her part, Lewinsky has previously described her relationship with Clinton as consensual.

"Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship," she wrote in a 2014 Vanity Fair article. " Any ‘abuse’ came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position"
